US-CHINA RELATIONS AND THE SOUTH CHINA SEA CONFLICT
Abstract
Because of competing views and strategy persuasions, ties between the US and China have seen many highs and lows. Chinese movements in the South Pacific Rim are currently regarded as a risk to the area's US interests. This has resulted in the US to change its political allegiance to the Pacific region. As the Pacific Ocean becomes crucial owing to its trade and investment paths, China has also moved its attention to the Oceanic relations in order to reach strategic value.
China's fast economic development, growing industry, and military modernization have resulted in the US to imagine China as a significant rival and not a reliable partner as a contender.
